Letters Patent No. 94,069, lated August 24,1869.

*davis- IMPROVEMENT. IN PIPE-COUPLNG.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Figure 1, a side View; y

Figure 2, the same, turned one-fourth around; and in A Figure 3, a vertical central section of fig. 1.

This invention relates to an improvement in the means of coupling and adj ust-ing pumps upon the pipe to which they are attached for the purpose of drawing water, especially to that class of pumps known 'as copper pumps; and

The invention consists in forming the pipe-connection upon a socket, which saidsocket forms the valveseat, and the connection bent so as to carry the pipeattachment to one side ofthe centre, the pump-cylinder formed with a ledge or flange,'so that a yoke may be placed over the pump-flange, and, passing under the pipe-connection, is there fixed by a set-screw, which holds the pump upon the connection, so that it can, by the loosening ofthe screw, be adjusted to turn the cylinder into any desired position. v

'lo enable others skilled in the ait to make and use iuyiuvention, I,wil1 fully describe the same,as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

YA vis Athe pump-cylinder, formed with a ledge or flange, a.

' B, the socket, made to receive the lower end of thev pump and also the valve C, the pump-cylinder sitting upon the rim of the valve to hold it in place, 'as seen in iig. 3.

'lo the` socket the pipe-connection D is attached or formed thereon, the said connection being turned so as to form. a-double bend, as seen in gs. 1 and 3, thus starting from the centre ofthe socket B, is immediately carried to one side of the centre, sothat a seat,

E, maybe formed upon the under side of' the first bend.

F is a` yoke, fitted to set over the flange a of the pump, and pass under thel seat E, as seen. in figs. l and 2.

p Through the said lyoke a sit-screw, I, passes, so as to bear upon theseat Etas seen'in iig. 3, thus clamping' the pump and pipefconnection securely toget1 r.

If, at any time, it is desirable to change the position .of the pump, or to change the spout into a different direction, loose the set-screw I, turn the cylinder to that position, and clamp as before.

Having fully described m'y invention,

Vhat I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the socket B with theconnec- '-tion D, formed as described, with the iianged cylinder A, yoke F, and set-screw I, as and for the purpose specified.
